Milestone: My 50th Post!
There are now 50 articles with my name on them on Coil! Some are short, some are long, some took me five minutes to write, and some took me two hours. If you would have told me a mere five months ago that I'd be spending all of my spare time writing blog posts and getting paid for it, I would've told you you're crazy.
But thanks to Coil, and thanks to every one of you reading this, that is now my reality, and I couldn't be more excited.
Working for this long on writing projects makes me think of my college days where I was a journalism major. I would work for many weeks on my articles and projects, gathering information, interviewing people, and submitting many, many rough, ROUGH drafts! I enjoyed the process, and I'm very glad I got to take classes that truly taught me so much and gave me valuable skills. But now, creating for this blog,
I hold myself to a consistent posting schedule and a high standard of quality, but I also get to pick my own topics and work on my own terms. If I want to write a short blurb on one day, but then work for a whole week on a long, in-depth album review, I can! I don't have deadlines, limits, or length requirements, and my reward (in the form of Boost payments) is simply & directly correlated to the amount of work I put into my content.
I've learned so much about writing online content that will get attention and engage readers, as well as dabbling into graphic design and even cryptocurrency- two things I never would have thought I'd enjoy five months ago!
Basically, I just wanted to say how happy I am with the work I've created so far, and how happy I am that there are people out there enjoying it! So to all of you reading, thank you.
Content creators are so valuable; thank you for making me feel like a valuable creator as well.
